I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
"Winnie the Pooh & Christmas Too" is, as the title already gives away, an Emmy-nominated Winnie Pooh Christmas special from almost 25 years ago. It runs for 25 minutes and takes place in winter when we see Winnie, Christopher Robin and the gang trying to deliver us the spirit of Christmas. I am not the greatest Winnie the Pooh fan or the greatest fan of Tigger and the Rabbit (only really like Donkey and Piglet), which may be why I did not like it that much, but also I felt that the humor and the emotion came short here compared to other Winnie the Pooh movies. Of course, the final hug was nice, but that's just not enough, even for 25 minutes only. And I was also missing Winnie's greed for food/honey. It is permanent in other films and in this one here, during a time that is also the season of eating all kinds of delicious stuff, it was basically a non-factor. Is Pooh on a diet or something. Not too great of a watch unless you really love the characters. Thumbs down.
Christmas special with Winnie the Pooh and his friends. It's a lovely, pleasant, cartoon. A very cute story that will put a smile on most faces. The main plot is about Pooh and friends writing to Santa giving him their wishlist for Christmas. What each of them wants is fun. Pooh tries to hand deliver the letter to the North Pole but doesn't make it. Everybody learns a valuable lesson about what's really important at Christmas. It's a nice Christmas story. Not one of the greats but enjoyable. Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit, Gopher, Eeyore are all here. Tigger gets the best lines, as usual. If you like Winnie the Pooh you'll like this cartoon. Give it a shot.
I've seen dozens of Christmas specials and only two of them warm my heart and make me think of that excited feeling I got as a child. One is a Charlie Brown Christmas. The other is Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too. Now the reason that this special is my favorite is simply because I'm a bigger Pooh fan than a Peanuts fan. But there's also a reason this special is such a classic. Most specials are pretty clear in teaching that Christmas isn't about what we get but what we give or who we spend it with, I think Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too teaches that message the best way. In usual Pooh fashion, it doesn't have to stop the story to explain why Christmas is better with loved ones. It simply embeds the message in the very sweet story. Pooh and his friends are some of the best role models when it comes to friendship and caring for one another despite their differences. Children can get a lot out of this special and for nostalgic adults, it may just bring a tear to your eye.
This will be to anyone who's seen it a Christmas classic. It's not my favourite Christmas special, but it is sweet, charming and memorable.The animation is lovely and so is the music. The voice cast enthusiastically bring their likable characters to life, Tigger never fails to crack me up.There are two stories, one when Pooh tries to get his letter to Santa Claus, and the other showing Piglet's struggles with ice skating. The latter is a tad predictable, but is so sweet and well meaning that all is forgiven.Overall, very sweet and charming, and perfect for kids and adults alike. 9/10 Bethany Cox
